Blemishes after waxing

[Schmancer]

Hi. I'm 48 and need my chin and upper lip waxed. After each session, I have several blemishes. I've tried laser but waxing gives me much better results. Any recommendations?

Use a mild cleanser when you get home then apply hydrocortisone cream. Always works for me!

Immediately after the areas are waxed, the pores are open for a while. It's super important not to touch the skin for a couple of hours. We carry so much bacteria on our skin. In the past I've used tea tree oil to cleanse after.

I use TendSkin, I also use it to prevent & get rid of ingrown hairs
